*Some came for political
reasons, on behalf of
powerful European kings
and ... Although early
European voyagers to
North America had
diverse motives, they
shared ... for the beliefs
and ways of life of the
Native people who were
already here.
*Almost twenty years passed
between the first and second
attempts by England to
colonize in the Americas. In,
*1606 the Virginia company of
London received a charter
from King James I, and that
charter gave the company
permission to set up a
settlement in the land to the
north of Roanoke, between
*North Carolina and the
Potomac River. This land was
called Virginia.

*Although some believe that the
history of the American
*Revolution began long before
the first shots were fired in
*1775, England and America did
not begin an overt parting of the
ways until 1763, more than a
century and a half after the
founding of the first permanent
settlement at Jamestown,
Virginia. The colonies had
grown vastly in economic
strength and cultural attainment,
and virtually all had long years
of self-government behind them.
In the 1760s their combined
population exceeded 1,500,000
-- a sixfold increase since 1700

other key contribution.
Within the large group
known as the "Founding
Fathers",
*The war began at

1775. this won ended
with the treaty of paris
in 1783 . The war
took 8 years to end.
The 13 colonies

brutal war.

*As of 2012, the United States has a
total resident population of
313,478,000, making it the third
most populous country in the
world.[1] It is a very urbanized
population, with 82% residing in
cities and suburbs as of 2008 (the
worldwide urban rate is 50.5%[2]).
*This leaves vast expanses of the
country nearly uninhabited.[3]
California and Texas are the most
populous states,[4] as the mean
center of United States population
has consistently shifted westward
and southward
*The Louisiana
purchase was one of
the lands acquired by
the U.S. from French
in 1818.the u.s. paid
$15millon dollar for
the piece of land that
expanded 827,987
square miles.
*This war lasted five
long, hard years.
FROM 1861-1865
*The war was fought
over the secession of
the confederacy.
* This was the era of
reconstruction. after
civil war the south
was damaged. many
people like
carpetbaggers' went
to the south to sell
there goods for high
prices.
*The world war one began with a little
miss understanding after the
assination of Archduke (Franz
Ferdinand) of the decaying AustroHungarian empire was
assassinated in Sarajevo on June
28, 1914 by a group of Serbian
nationalists. This event began the
struggle between Serbia and the
Austro-Hungarian government.
On July 26, 1914, the AustroHungarian officials issued an
ultimatum to the Serbian
government containing five major
concessions. Once the time limit
on the ultimatum had expired,
Austro-Hungary declared war on
Serbia.
• The great depression
begin in 1920’s-1938
• One reason the great
depression began
was because the
banks invested the
bankers $$ and the
stock market crashed
-this brutal war started in 1939-1945
Hitler, who became chancellor of government in 1933. he
ended a democratic rules & created a militaristic government.
the people who followed & believed him were called
scapegoats. he was one of the few dictators who preached
racial superiority.
-The united states stated that they were going to be neutral in this
war, because they were a strong & isolationist mood. They
were so strong about this statement that they made the
neutrality act.
Part of
the reason for going to war against the
Germany, Japan and Italy. In March
1940: the Lend-Lease act was passed
stating Roosevelt could direct aid to
whomever he wanted. This meant that
the US was no longer neutral. The US
ended up contributing 42 billion dollars
to the war effort by 1945. With Hitler
taking over Europe, FDR saw fit to aid
the British and French troops with
arms, etc.
-The united states got involved in world war two when..
*Started from 1945-1991
The COLD WAR >;/ (approx. 1945–1991)
was a continuing state of political and
military tension between the powers of
the western world , led by the United
States and its Nato allies , and the
communist World , led by the soviet
union , its satellites states and allies.
This began after the success of their
temporary wartime alliance against
Nazi Germany , leaving the USSR
and the US as two superpowers with
profound economic and political
differences. The Soviet Union created
the Eastern Bloc with the eastern
European countries it occupied,
maintaining these as satellite states.
THE VIETNAM WAR ! :’{
* the Vietnam war was fought to prevent the spread of communism.
•
*Here are some various opinions on why (and whether) the US
lost the war in Vietnam:
•
The United States pulled out of the Vietnam war. We did not
lose it. Technically, we were not at war, we were advisors but
the Congressional approval to fight in Vietnam was not given.
If anyone lost it was the people of Laos and Cambodia who
came under Communist rule after the war.
•
Lack of interest. No one was that interested in stopping the
Communists aggression in the Far East. And as the war went
on, the cost in blood and treasure seemed extreme and
fruitless. So we didn't lose, we just withdrew. When the draft
was ended, it made the war more tolerable, but then high
profile stories of war crimes and napalming made the war
unpopular.
•
The only reason the US lost was because we withdrew from
there. The US won every battle but the North Vietnamese
were willing to sacrifice many more lives than the US.
•
They lost because the politicians did not let the military do their
job. They made decisions that should have been made by
generals. Politicians should not make tactical decisions.
•
The people of South Vietnam did not want to fight that war and
the US didn't want to fight the war for them without their help.
